We are appalled by the homophobic smear campaign against @AlexBMorse and deeply disturbed to learn that vague allegations were weaponized in bad faith to take down a young, gay progressive running against the political establishment.
False allegations of sexual misconduct are deeply harmful to LGBTQ individuals seeking to run for office and also make it harder for survivors to come forward.
At the same time, we appreciate how open Alex has been to listening to the concerns of students within College Democrats and to engaging in a thoughtful process of teshuva (repair) with them. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1294321900823482370
As a movement of young people, we had an obligation to take seriously the charges of misconduct. This week, we engaged with our membership about how to move forward.
We decided to continue supporting Jewish progressive @AlexBMorseâs campaign to bring transformative change to DC.

We have seen @AlexBMorse demonstrate incredible resilience and grace over the past week, and the way he has handled this process makes us even more confident that he is a candidate we are proud to support.
The #MA01 incumbent is corporate Americaâs favorite Democrat. He has been one of the leading obstacles to passing progressive legislation like Medicare for All. He is one of the only members of the Mass. delegation to have co-sponsored unconstitutional anti-BDS legislation.
. @AlexBMorse will fight for a just future for both Palestinians and Israelis, and will bring the voice of our movement to the halls of Congress.
Thatâs why we are throwing our full support behind Mayor Alex Morse as the September 1 primary approaches.
